The argument against is that someone who then encounters the code without the notice will have no idea what license the code is under. They won't be aware of the BSD rights and disclaimers that otherwise should apply to them.

What we do here instead is explicitly say that you can include the Lil License text, or link to it instead — as we tend to do in these modern times.

That's just the thing. I want a license that is clear about my intentions when I provide them a copy. What ever copy they receive from someone else is not, and should not, be my problem in any way, I want nothing to do with that transaction.
